Dunno if the need will arise, but Sphere in Canada has a lot of online info wrt Tek equipment (and numerous other brands) parts, parts cross-reference lists, etc.

Yeah - this is where I got that sweep logic IC the last time my 465 broke. About 60.00 plus frt. Grrr.

IIRC,that is cheaper than TEK sold it(new stock).
155-0049-02,right?What I wonder is where all the stock TEK had on hand went to when they made the 400 series obsolete? TEK's Recycling store?
I know some small part of it went to an employee instead of the trash where it was supposed to go. TEK throws out a lot of old parts(instead of "close-out" batch-selling them to 3rd parties),and takes a tax writeoff on them. But I knew one guy who instead had it all boxed up and took it home,after one Service Center bench stock purge. If I had tried that,I'd have been fired.

Don't remember the part number...
Or arrested...
Just a quick note to thank you for your help and interesting comments, history, etc.

Seeing what HD has become in motorcycles perhaps the analogy is still = apt.

Just got that 2246 yesterday. Very cool so far as functions are concerned; the front panel controls seem just a bit chintzy compared to the 465, but still OK really. Not in current cal, but time base and vertical amplitude seem to be quite accurate and I'm not doing government work after all, just consumer electronics.
Only had time to fool around with it a bit, still need to figure out more of the menus etc.
Looks like very low hours but in view of the preceding comments by those who know this model, I certainly won't be just leaving it on all the time... in the past I've been known to leave a 'scope on most of the day and not even think about it, aside from taking the usual steps to avoid screen burn that is.
Question: Does the "Mod A" designation on the rear mean this is a "2246A" model?

No,that was a custom mod(Modified Product),IIRC,for the Navy. That's about all I can recall about it.
Tek's documentation for "modified products" got really bad after they did away with that section of the microfiche(after downsizing Service Support,who compiled the info...dumb move,TEK.). If you don't have the original manual with the modified product inserts,there's no way you can get the documentation. Probably the difference is in the EPROMs,adding some oddball feature.
It was really hard to get parts for those modified products,had to special order them,and wait months,literally. they essentially were hand-made.
But a lot of those Mod A's were made.

If you're in the United States there is a DOD database of military manuals that may have a scan of the original manual for that military version. I can't think of the name at the moment, and am still trying to recover about 20 GB of damaged files after a failed hard drive & corrupt backup files. Only 32 GB has been recovered, after three weeks.
